[Coco] Question

I found a couple of things in my archive, and I know (I think) I bought
one of 'em - maybe both - because they were both kinda "weird", and
seemingly "not of the main community", and I wanted them for my collection.
I think they were both offered on Ebay at one point.
One was called the "TRS80 CoCo HI-Speed storage system" - and it used an
Arduino and SD card, attached to the serial (bit banger) port. According
to notes I have on it, is mentioned:
USER's Guide for CoCo File server
By: John E Hieber (C) May 2015
Rev 2.5 (C) June 2017
The other one was something called "TRS80 Color Computer Hi-Speed Tape
interface, 6000 baud" - but it appears to be a board you mount inside
the case, and it provides an alternative jack for audio I/O - so
probably not what you were looking for. The user's name of the Ebay
listing, though, was "john-ed" (I don't know if both are related, as in
the same guy?)...
Hmm - I also found (I think) the software for the above "HI-Speed
storage system", and manual (and I think I have things a bit messy in my
archive I guess); at least, it lists the same guy, and I have an .EML
file saved. It had a couple of email addresses included, but I don't
know if I could or should share them (the email addresses - I doubt I
can share the other information about the device)?
Hmm - and the assembly code listing he sent me also seems to have his
physical (mailing) address included...
So I must've purchased that particular one, and it's in some kind of box
somewhere in my mess-o-coco junk.
